Visual communication insights and strategies
"How can we make sense of the myriad visual images surrounding us today? How can we strategically use images with a clear understanding of their function and impact?

It then provides practical guidance for creating purposeful and ethical visual communication. The authors recognize the accelerating dominion of images in communication, society, and culture. We human beings process images and video effortlessly and automatically. Visuals carry an emotional and visceral punch that text can rarely, if ever, match. As multinational marketers, social media influencers, and teenagers on TikTok know, visuals create their own language, accessible to all, regardless of traditional textual barriers of understanding such as education or language"--
